Apply password policy to all users

Hi,
I have been poking around with setting up a password policy on Sun DS 6.3.1. Everything works ok but I only have seen examples of how to apply the password policy to a single user, with an ldif something like:
dn: uid=pepe,ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: pwdPolicySubentry
passwordPolicySubentry:
cn=MyPolicy,dc=mycompany,dc=com
but I haven't figured out how to apply it to all users or to a group of users. What I would like to do is to apply the policy to all users under ou=People,dc=mycompany,dc=com.
Any tips ?
Thanks in advance.

For all users, simply modify the global password policy.
For specific group of users, create a password policy and a Class of Service which links the users to the policy. Just search the directory server docs on how to do that in details.

Hi Chandu,
Have you find the solution finally? Have you tried Pavan's suggestion?
Sorry for my lacking of code and script. If your requirement still haven't been achieved, I suggest we can ask a question in Exchange Development forum and Script Center for more professional suggestion:

Different Password Policy for Different User Groups in ACS 4.2

Hi All,
Can some one provide a solution for the below requirement?
We do have ACS 4.2 appliance managing firewalls of different clients. The users are common i.e, helpdesk administrators. One of the client came up with setting different password policy for managing their devices i.e, the client wants to have min 15 characters as password length. We do have currently 8 characters as min password length. Can we change the password policy to min 15 characters only for managing the firewalls of this client whereas for all other client firewalls we feel better to have 8 characters as min password length?
It seems that these password policies are global & affects all the users.
This is something like, having two sets of password (for each user) policy depending on the client which he is going to manage.
For my knowledge, i think that this is not possible. But, thought to cross-check with experts!

Hi jags,
Yor're correct. Password policy on ACS will affect all internal user. We can't create different password policies for diferent clients/connections/set_of_users
Password validation options apply only to user passwords that are stored in the ACS internal database. They do not apply to passwords in user records in external user databases; nor do they apply to enable or admin passwords for Cisco IOS network devices.

Apply Retention Policy to All New Mailboxes

I have created a retention policy tag to “Delete and Allow Recovery” after 14 days of all items in the “Deleted Items” folder.
I then created a Retention Policy to apply the tag. I see using the EMS I can run a command “Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox –RetentionPolicy “Empty Trash” to apply to all existing mailboxes but how do I apply this to all new mailboxes as
well?
I see a posting at
http://www.proexchange.be/blogs/exchange2010/archive/2011/08/31/using-the-scripting-agent-to-automate-some-basic-housekeeping-tasks.aspx
that describes using the Scripting Agent to automate this processes but it seems overkill for my simple requirement. If I go this route does this need to be applied to each Exchange Server? Is this the only way or is there a simpler way to apply a recipient
policy to all existing and future mailboxes?

How can I set OIM password policy for OID Users.

Hi,
For me the target resourec is OID. When I create users in OIM, they get provisioned to OID. Their password also gets stored in OID.
Now, I have a password policy in OIM. In that policy, the password exipration day is set to 28 days. After 28 days, the user's password will expire in OIM. Is there any way that password will also expire in OID too, so that user will not be able to login in OID?
Thanks in advance.

You need to do the following.
1. Find the attribute in OID that determines the disable date.
2. Add a field to your provisioning process definition form.
3. Using a pre-populate adapter, use an input of your oim user account expiration date, and convert that to the format OID uses.
4. Update your lookup for provisioning attributes to include this new field to map the field name to the OID attribute.
5. Create an "Updated" task for this field so that when it gets changed, the new value is pushed to OID.
6. Create a user form trigger value for the field that maps to the oim user account expiration field. For this trigger, add a task to your oid provisioning process that does the same tasks as your pre-populate adapter to determine the new date value and pass it to the field on the process form.
Now when the OIM expiration date changes, this value will be passed to OID, and also when the account is first created.
Does this work for you?

What is illegal about table USRPWDHISTORY. It's a regular table so to think that if you don't mention it on public forum then nobody will find it is a bit naive.
There are usually 3 reasons why you have to do some dirty trick: you want to do something wrong, there is a technical limitation in solution or there is something serious wrong with the solution. In my experience the first option is the most common and this case looks to me like the first option. It's not clear from your message what is the purpose of those users but as it was mentioned you can change their type or maybe you can use a different authentication method for them (certificates or SSO) to avoid password issues.

Adding Password Policy with a use of CoS

Hi all,
I am trying to add a new password policy for our suffixes 1,2 ,3. I have read the DS 6.3 Admin manual P # 182. I am bit confused. Can some one write me sequence of steps.
For example: step1: add a new policy for ou=suffix1,o=com
step2: add new policy to DS, etc....
I have tried the example from the manual but it seems the syntax is wrong in the book. I am getting Invalid DN syntax error ...for CoS
dn: cn="cn=TempFilter,ou=people,dc=suffix1,dc=com",
cn=PolTempl,dc=suffix1,dc=com
Q#2: Does this new policy applies to existing users or the new users?
TIA

The following ldif is working for me. It set the ExternalUsersPolicy password policy to all users from o=SUBORG
dn: cn=SUBORGUsersPolicyFilter,o=SUBORG,dc=company,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: LDAPsubentry
objectclass: nsRoleDefinition
objectclass: nsComplexRoleDefinition

Best way to force password policy on users within 1-2 weeks?

We have a Server 2008 R2 domain.
I'd read that the password policy in GPO is only available for Computer Configuration, not User Configuration? Is that correct?
If so, that's not very flexible and will make things trickier for us.
And regarding enforcing a password policy with a GPO on our local domain, do you know of a way to force users to change their passwords within say 1 week? (the only options I know of are on the AD User account properties check a box "User
must change password at next logon" (then you'd have to force them to log out) OR relying on AD's internal formula:
webactivedirectory.com/.../how-active-directory-calculates-account-password-expiration-dates . The problem I see with the latter is if your user hasn't changed their pw for a year you'd have to wait a year+how many days you set for max password
age?
spnewbie

To add, the password policy is applied at the domain level and only works at the domain level. It's not the fact that it's at the "Computer Level" or "User Level" or not, it's the fact that it's only set at the domain level.
Account policies (Password, Lockout and Kerb), are all under the Computer Config because it forces it to apply to all user accounts that access all machines.
If you tried to create a password policy at any other level (any OU), it won't work. The only option is to use PSOs, as Mahdi pointed out.
As for that Spiceworks thread, I would suggest to post a question about a specific product to the product vendor's support forum for accurate responses.
Here's an excerpt from MOC 6425C Configuring and Troubleshooting Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, page 10-8 (and this applies to all versions of AD):
Active Directory supports one set of password and lockout policies for a domain. These policies are configured in a GPO that is scoped to the domain. A new domain contains a GPO called the Default Domain Policy that is linked to the domain and that includes
the default policy settings for password, account lockout, and Kerberos policies. You can change the settings by editing the Default Domain Policy GPO.
The best practice is to edit the Default Domain Policy GPO to specify the password policy settings for your organization. You should also use the Default Domain Policy GPO to specify account lockout policies and Kerberos policies. Do not use the Default
Domain Policy GPO to deploy any other custom policy settings. In other words, the Default Domain Policy GPO only defines the password, account lockout, and Kerberos policies for the domain. Additionally, do not define password, account lockout, or Kerberos
policies for the domain in any other GPO.
The password settings configured in the Default Domain Policy affect all user accounts in the domain. The settings can be overridden, however, by the password-related properties of the individual user accounts. On the Account tab of a user's Properties dialog
box, you can specify settings such as Password Never Expires or Store Passwords Using Reversible Encryption. For example, if five users have an application that requires direct access to their passwords, you can configure the accounts for those users to store
their passwords by using reversible encryption.

Password Policy implementation for SAP users

Dear Friends,
We are planning to implement the Password Policy for SAP users in our organization...
Here my question is,
Letu2019s say that the Password Policy is implemented today, what will happen to the SAP usersu2019 passwords?
Will they be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy? Will there be a dialog box that will tell them what the criteria is for new passwords and its the time to change the password?
Thank you,
Nikee

Hi
Letu2019s say that the Password Policy is implemented today, what will happen to the SAP usersu2019 passwords?
SAP Users password will be intact till it prompts for next password change. Say, 90 Days. (Provided Parameter is not set)
Will they be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy? Will there be a dialog box that will tell them what the criteria is for new passwords and its the time to change the password?
They will not be locked out until they create a new password that follows the policy (provided parameter is not set), During the time of changing the password they would get a dialog box if they have not met the specified criteria indicating that it should have specific values.
Once the password change prompt appears, in order to login to SAP they are forced to change password with password criteria set, other wise they can not login.
Thanks and Regards
Arun R

Custom Password policy for ProxyAgent

Solaris 10 Server Directory Server LDAP 6.3. Clients are Solaris 10.
The clients use "proxyagent" user located in ou=profile. When I create a Global Password policy and apply to my top level dc, then this service account can "expire". I can't have my service accounts expiring...
How do you create a custom filter with NO account lockout, expiration, etc? The DSCC wizard doesn't allow you to as the last step of the wizard must have a bug because even though you don't click the Lockout radio button, the webpage asks you to fill in a number for account lockout of 1 to 32768. Ugggh.
Question 2: how do you apply a custom password policy to ALL of ou=people? I can do it one by one to dn's under the ou=people, but I want it on the parent so new users get the custom password policy. Everything I try, the Global Password Policy wins. (And can't seem to be done via the DSCC but rather through command line)
Help.
Thanks,
Sean

The clients use "proxyagent" user located in ou=profile. When I create a Global Password
policy and apply to my top level dc, then this service account can "expire". I can't have
my service accounts expiring...Password policies have to be applied to individual accounts (manually or via CoS). So you
may need to create a new password policy and assign it to the proxyagent user. Since DSCC
does not seem to allow you to do that, best to munge it via the commandline (after specifying
the lockout in dscc). Yes, it's ugly but a bug has been logged. Please contact Sun Support if
you want a fix against 6.3 (quote the above bug number)

Configure a Password Policy

Hi All,
i want to have a password policy for the database. As I found, there's a default table called dba_profiles where we can set password properties for the default database profile in 11g. Actual requirement is to change the sys user's password in every one month time. can i do that using this dba_profiles table?
And there's another problem. we have another 10, 12 dba users with different passwords. so if i do some change to the default profile will it affect whole the dba users..??? because i cant change other db users passwords since the application totally depends on that passwords..... :S
Can anybody give me a hand to do this please...... if i'm wrong..plss correct me. And if you have any other systematic way to configure a password policy, please let me know....
Thanks in Advance,
Max

DBA_PROFILES is just data dictionary view.But there is a term PROFILES which you can manage user`s passwords and other resources(like max_idle_time).Of course you can use profiles.
And there's another problem. we have another 10, 12 dba users with different passwords. so if i do some change to the default profile will it affect whole the dba users..??? Yes it will effect other users which assign default profile(default profile is a default for all users you can see that after user creating dba_users.profile column).I suggest you do not change DEFAULT PROFILE settings.So create new your own profile using CREATE PROFILE LIMIT ... clause and assign this to users.
because i cant change other db users passwords since the application totally depends on that passwords..... :S
Can anybody give me a hand to do this please...... if i'm wrong..plss correct me. And if you have any other systematic way to configure a password policy, please let me know....
If you want implement different password policy for different users then create two or more profiles and use these.
Remember that to implementing profiles setting the RESOURCE_LIMIT initialization parameter must be TRUE.

Applying service policy using radius and VPDN

anyone had any success doing this?
I've been following the suggested config at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/ps6566/products_feature_guide09186a0080610dad.html#wp1058626 but not having any success.
sessions terminate on my 7301 via L2TP through another provider - this all works fine.
I have the following AVPair defined in the user RADIUS profile:
Cisco-AVPair = "ip:sub-qos-policy-out=DROP-P2P"
and the matching policy map defined on the 7301 but it does not get applied to the user session.
Debug L2X errors gives the following message:
001867: Oct 30 16:12:50.655 UTC: L2X: Unknown AVP 76 in CM SCCRQ
001868: Oct 30 16:12:50.655 UTC: L2X: Ignoring unknown AVP 76
if I apply the policy map in the virtual-template it does get applied, but obviously to all users on that template which is not what I want.
edit: - btw the 7301 is on 12.4 so this feature should be available.
thanks
Liam.

With a router it won't be possible to get different policy for users in a single template. Following link may help you
